DIXIE.

Fanny Downing in n. c. Speaker.l
Created by nations glee,
With jest and song and revelry,
We sang it in our early pride
Throughout our Southern borders wide,
While from ten thousand throats rang out
A promise in one glorious shout
'"TO live or die for DiXie!''
How well that promise was redeemed,
Is witnessed by each field where cleaned
Victorious-lik e the crest of Mars
The banner of the Stars and Bars!
The cannon lay our warriors low
We fill the ranks and onward go
ITO live or die for Dixie,''
To die for Dixie!-Oh, how blest
Are those who early went to rest.
Nor knew the futures awful store,
But deemed the cause they fought for sure
AS heaven itself, and so laid down
The cross of earth for glorys crown,
And nobly died for Dixie.
To live for Dixie-harder part.
To stay the hand-to still the heart
To seal the lips, enshroud the past
To have no future-all O'ercaSt-
To knit life's broken threads again,
And keep her mem'ry pure from stain
This is to live for Dixie.
Beloved Land! beloved Song,
Your thrilling power shall last as long
Enshrined within each Southern soul
AS Times eternal ages roll
Made hOlier by the test of years
Baptized with our country's tears
God and the right for Dixie!

was journalism. His whole being was
charged with the controlling purpose of his
life to make a great paper. And he madeit,
but circumstances prevented his obtaining
the fruits of his labor The paper passed
into other hands.
Mr.. Hale was man of strong likes and
dislikes. He hated treachery above all
things. He had no honeyed words for
those who once betrayed him. He used
strong invective when he spoke of his
enemies Those who know him best say
that while he was not cordial to those he
disliked, he was all gentleness and affec
ton and tenderness for those he most
loved. 1t might have been said of him
that he had two ''soul-sides."
One to face the world with
One to show woman when he loves her.
In the 59th year of his age this honored
journalist, whose
"Actions smell sweet and blossom in the
dust"
was called from labor to rest. Long had
he suffered from a cancer on the tongue
suffered bravely and heroically-but at
length Rest came to his aching body and
weary brain When he died journalism
in the State lost its best furnished editor;
the State mourned for patriotic son; the
party deplored the loss of the services of
an able champion and defender; his friends
and family sorrowed most of all that they
had been so sOrely bereft.
